Looking Back on 2025: A Year of Craftsmanship, Innovation, and New Ideas
As we reflect on 2025, it has been a year defined by creativity, thoughtful design, and a continued commitment to craftsmanship. Throughout the year, we introduced a number of new products and finishes that allowed us to expand our range while staying true to the values that sit at the heart of everything we make: quality materials, careful detailing, and timeless design.
Each new addition was created with purpose — shaped by customer feedback, traditional techniques, and a desire to offer something both beautiful and enduring.
Introducing Our New Lecterns
One of the most significant additions to our range in 2025 was the introduction of our lecterns. Designed with both elegance and practicality in mind, these pieces combine solid construction with refined detailing. Crafted to stand confidently in a variety of settings, they reflect our approach to functional design — understated, well-balanced, and made to last. The response to these pieces has been a proud moment, marking an exciting new direction for our bespoke work.
A New Limestone Colour: Devonshire Cream
2025 also saw the introduction of Devonshire Cream, a new limestone colour that has quickly become a favourite. Soft, warm, and beautifully subtle, this finish offers a lighter alternative while retaining the character and depth that limestone is known for. Devonshire Cream sits effortlessly in both traditional and contemporary settings, and its natural tones have made it a popular choice for those seeking something elegant yet distinctive.
Expanding Our Memorial Range with Photo and Bamboo Caskets
This year, we carefully expanded our memorial offering with the introduction of photo caskets and bamboo caskets. Created with sensitivity and respect, these pieces allow for a more personal tribute, combining natural materials with thoughtful design. The bamboo options, in particular, reflect a growing desire for simplicity and sustainability, while photo caskets provide a deeply personal way to honour a life remembered.
A Fresh Addition: Verdent Corian
Colour played an important role in our 2025 developments, and the introduction of Verdent Corian brought a fresh new option to our range. This rich, contemporary green offers a modern yet timeless aesthetic, adding depth and individuality to Corian signs. Verdent has been especially popular with customers looking for something distinctive without overpowering its surroundings.
Rustic Posts with Character and Charm
Our rustic posts were another standout addition this year. Designed to complement natural materials and traditional settings, these posts bring texture and authenticity to any installation. Their weathered appearance and solid feel make them an ideal pairing with wooden, stone, or metal signs, offering a look that feels established, grounded, and full of character.
Cut-Out Metal Signs: Precision Meets Design
Rounding out the year, our cut-out metal signs showcased the perfect balance between modern precision and creative freedom. Clean lines, sharp detailing, and bold silhouettes allow these signs to make a statement while remaining elegant. Whether simple or intricate, they highlight the versatility of metal as a material and reflect our continued investment in quality craftsmanship.
Looking Ahead
As we close the chapter on 2025, we do so with gratitude — for the opportunity to create, to evolve, and to continue making products that become part of people’s homes, spaces, and stories. Each new product introduced this year represents not just a design, but a shared journey with our customers.
We look forward to building on this foundation as we move into the year ahead, continuing to create pieces that are personal, considered, and made to stand the test of time.
